Cognac Forgeron - Folle Blanche 2012

Like all Michel Forgeron cognacs, this "Folle Blanche 2012" Cognac comes from the Grande Champagne terroir, the most prestigious in the Cognac production area. Aged for over 10 years in French oak barrels, it has been patiently reduced by the addition of distilled water, and is now offered at 47% alcohol, a good compromise between preservation of taste and aroma, and power on the palate. It is made from the single Folle Blanche grape variety, which is much fruitier than the Ugni Blanc used in most Cognacs. 

Golden color. A fine, very fresh nose of lemongrass and white flowers. Fresh white fruit on the palate, followed by a touch of ginger. A spicy finish to enjoy as an aperitif or digestif.

The family estate has been in existence since 1909, and the "Michel Forgeron" brand was created in 1977. Today, Pierre and Christophe Forgeron take over from their parents Michel and Francine. They have set as their priority environmentally-friendly practices.
